  • Male Novel Reading of the 1790S, Gothic Literature, and Northanger
    Male Novel t Reading of the 1790s, :L Gothic Literature, i and Northanger Abbey ALBERT C. SEARS Albert C. Sears is a doctoral candidate in English at Lehigh University. His dissertation investigates the Victorian sensation novel in the literary marketplace. Bookseller records from Timothy Stevens of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and Thomas Hookham and James Carpenter of London offer new insights into the fiction reading habits of men dur- ing the 1790s.1 Indeed, the Stevens records suggest that Henry Tilney’s emphatic statement in Northanger Abbey (written 1798) that men “‘read nearly as many [novels] as women’” (107) may not be entirely fictional.2 What is more, male patrons of Stevens’s bookshop and library seem to have particularly enjoyed the Gothic as did Tilney, who states: “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. I have read all Mrs. Radcliffe’s works, and most of them with great pleasure. The Mysteries of Udolpho, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again;—I remember finishing it in two days—my hair standing on end the whole time.” (106) However, while Austen’s depiction of male novel reading may be accurate for Gloucestershire, the Hookham records yield little evi- dence that the majority of men in fashionable London enjoyed novels as much as Tilney. 106 PERSUASIONS No. 21 The Stevens records, which extend from 1780 to 1806, do show that men borrowed and bought more fiction than women during the last decade of the eighteenth century. During the 1790s, the shop had approximately seventy male patrons (includ- ing book clubs) who borrowed and/or purchased fiction.

Nussbaum, Chair Furbish’d Remnants argues that eighteenth-century theatrical adaptations set in the Orient destabilize categories of difference, introducing Oriental characters as subjects of sympathy while at the same time defamiliarizing the people and space of London. Applying contemporary theories of emotion, I contend that in eighteenth-century theater, the actor and the character become distinct subjects for the affective transfer of sympathy, increasing the emotional potential of performance beyond the narrative onstage. Adaptation as a form heightens this alienation effect, by drawing attention to narrative’s properties as an artistic construction. A paradox at the heart of eighteenth-century theater is that while the term “adaptation” did not have a specific literary or theatrical definition until near the end of the period, in practice adaptations and translations proliferated on the English stage.

Would you mend it And so end it? Since not all addition perfects aye! Or is it of its kind, perhaps, Just perfection— Whence, rejection Of a grace not to its mind, perhaps? Shall we burn up, tread that face at once Into tinder, And so hinder Sparks from kindling all the place at once? —Robert Browning, “A Pretty Woman” (1855) Really, universally, relations stop nowhere, and the exquisite problem of the artist is eternally but to draw, by a geometry of his own, the circle within which they shall happily appear to do so. He is in the perpetual predicament that the continuity of things is the whole matter, for him, of comedy and tragedy; that this continuity is never, by the space of an instant or an inch, broken, and that, to do anything at all, he has at once intensely to consult and to ignore it. All of which will perhaps pass but for a supersubtle way of pointing the plain moral that a young embroiderer of the canvas of life soon began to work in terror, fairly, of the vast expanse of that surface, of the boundless number of its distinct perforations .

  • Research Guide for Archival Sources of Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin
    Research Guide for Archival Sources of Smock Alley theatre, Dublin. October 2009 This research guide is intended to provide an accessible insight into the historical, theatrical and archival legacy of Smock Alley theatre, Dublin. It is designed as an aid for all readers and researchers who have an interest in theatre history and particularly those wishing to immerse themselves in the considerable theatrical legacy of Smock Alley theatre and it’s array of actors, actresses, directors, designers, its many scandals and stories, of what was and is a unique theatrical venue in the fulcrum of Dublin’s cultural heart. Founded in 1662 by John Ogilby, Smock Alley theatre and stage was home to many of the most famous and talented actors, writers and directors ever to work and produce in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Celebrated players included Peg Woffington, David Garrick, Colley Cibber, Spranger Barry and George Ann Bellamy. Renowned managers and designers such as John Ogilby, Thomas Sheridan, Louis De Val and Joseph Ashbury would help cement the place of Smock Alley theatre as a venue of immense theatrical quality where more than just a play was produced and performed but more of a captivating, wild and entertaining spectacle. The original playbills from seventeenth century productions at Smock Alley detail many and varied interval acts that often took place as often as between every act would feature singing, dancing, farce, tumbling, juggling and all manner of entertainment for the large public audience. Smock Alley was celebrated for its musical and operatic productions as well as its purely dramatic performances.
